146951 - Browser does not "Save As Text" properly

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[roberts]

Any URL:  html tags are mixed in with the text when File -> Save As -> Txt is
chosen, instead of in the accepted format, as demonstrated by Netscape 4.x.  The
current implementation is badly broken.

Do you have a saple URL for that ?

I think what reporter sees are the same as i:
The saved file contain links embraced in < >, bold font indicated with * * etc.
In all, making the text hard to read.

This may be a dup of bug 138568

[e-mail]:
Why are you filing again a bug if you know that the problem is being addressed
as shown by your comments in Bug 135239 ?
Indeed you haven't added any additional information to show the difference from
the other bugs you are only saying "this is broken", and there are other bugs to
correct this behaviour, so this is a dup.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 138568 ***

See <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135239#c15>.

Roberts, what you state in the initial description is utter bullshit, and you
know it. I have explained this many, many times in bug 131166 and bug 135239.
You already filed the same bug as bug 132943, after being aware of all the other
bugs. This is abuse of bugzilla. Do this again, and I might ask your bugzilla
rights to be removed.
I don't know what you try to achieve anyways, because bug 135239 exactly
addresses your problem, is open and will be fixed, if anyone cares. Your actions
don't exactly help with anybody wanting to fix this.
This same warning applies [e-mail], who showed exactly the same
behaviour and might actually be the same person.

RKA, Alfonso, thanks for marking it as dup of one of the other bugs. But it
would have been a dup of bug 135239, if the description were correct. As-is, it
is plain wrong (and the author knows that), so it's INVALID.

Mr. Mazda, see above.

mass-verification of Invalid bugs.

if you don't think the report is invalid, please check to see if it has already
been reported (it might be a duplicate instead). otherwise, make sure that there
are steps (a valid test case) that clearly display the issue as an unexpected
defect.
